The Department of State Security has summoned Modu Sheriff,
the former Governor of Bornu State for interrogation over allegation levelled
against him by an Australian accusing him of being one of the sponsors of Boko
Haram in Nigeria.
The DSS revealed that it had interrogated the former Governor
on two occasions over his alleged involvement with the dreaded sect. It
however, said that investigations are on-going into various allegations made by
Stephen Davies, an Australian negotiator. It will be recalled that the
Australian negotiator named the former Governor as one of the sponsors of the
sect.
